This is my single most requested thing to fix for dinner! It really is delicious. The sauce is lighter and fresher tasting than the usual lasagna recipe. It takes a little time to prep, but it is definitely worth it.

Wow. Not only was it quite easy and very tasty, but it was probably the best-looking lasagna I've ever made. The no-bake noodles soaked up the extra juice from the sauce, and the cheese filling was the perfect texture (not at all gloppy). Will definitely make it again, and it would be a perfect dish for a potluck!

Made this for NYE and it was fantastic. I used whole San Marzano canned tomatoes instead of pureed tomatoes which made the sauce very liquidy, so I cooked it down for an hour as opposed to the recommended 10 minutes. I also opted for spicy italian pork sausage and an extra heap of grated mozzarella to go on the top. Because I am GF, I used brown rice lasagna noodles. They became pliable after 10 minutes so I did not soak them for any longer. The final product was a crowd pleaser. I would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic! I made this last night and my entire family (including picky 6 year old) loved it. I added nutmeg and used half ricotta cheese and half cottage cheese. I have a favorite lasagna recipe that I've used for years. With the above modifications, I'm switching to this one!!

This was great! I used the best ingredients: Pastene/kitchen ready, crushed tomatoes. My store did not have spicy turkey sausage so I used chicken sausage and just added some cayenne pepper to spice it up. Also used a sharp butcher knife to chop up the fennel seeds. (you really don't need a fancy equipment) I like my lasagna noodles a bit thicker, so next time I will use the dried version. I'm keeping the recipe for the sauce alone as my go to marina sauce recipe. As a matter of fact I have left over ingredients and I'm heading to the kitchen now. Enjoy!

REALLY good and not all that time consuming. Perfect consistency. I used good tomatoes and followed the recipe as written except did not find whole-milk mozzarella - didn't seem to matter. The noodles that I bought ended up really thin and similar to fresh.

I have made this recipe at least 6 times. People rave about this one, and I always end up sharing the recipe. I usually use half whole milk and half part skim cheeses. Definitely worth the effort and works well to assemble in advance and bake when ready.

This lasagna was amazing! The sauce had a very fresh taste. The only thing that I changed was adding a cup of sliced brown mushrooms. It was easy and delicious. Everyone loved it. This was the first time that I used the oven ready lasagna noodles and they were great. Definitely will be making this again.

This should be renamed "Perfect Lasagna" because it is just that. I've made it for two Christmas Eves in a row, and probably will continue the tradition for years to come. I follow the recipe as written, and my husband and I absolutely love it.

My 1st lasagna created ever and I made this for a NYE potuck and it was good. Everyone at the party liked it better than me. I however loved it the following afternoon cold. I followed the recipe with the following exceptions:
(1)I didn't have means to crush the fennel (mortar/pestle etc), so I put it in a mini-food processor and was able to pulverize some seeds, but not others. It worked in a pinch, but will invest in a crushing tool :) next time.
(2) It said to cook the sauce until thickened, I like lasagna that isn't too runny, so I cooked it down to the perfect consistency (~20min), but when it baked I thought it was a little drier (though everyone thought this was a good thing, I would have liked a hint more sauciness)
(3) I added about 3/4-1tsp red pepper flakes (Though I debated mixing sweet and hot turkey sausage because I thought all hot + the pepper flakes would be too much, I left it all spicy turkey sausage and the flakes. My long-time lasagna loving husband thought this was a great addtion. My gf thought it wasn't a kids dish due to the spice, but my 4yo loved it cold the next day with milk, so palate depending on spiciness.

I made this lasagna for a cozy Christmas Eve dinner, and it was fantastic. My only deviation from the recipe was to use sweet italian turkey sausage instead of spicy. This will be my go-to lasagna recipe from now on!

This was excellent! I followed it all the way through but added a little red pepper flakes like others did. I did find there was more cheese mixture then it needed so I didn't use all of it but it was delicious.

SO GOOD! No problems
with the spice
level, though this
may be due to the
brand I used
(Jennie-O). I did up
the amount of garlic
in it (six cloves
instead of 3) but
otherwise followed
the recipe to the
letter.

As with any lasagna, this requires a lot of prep work, but it was worth it. I added more garlic and used spicy italian pork sausage and it was great. There was not enough heat in it for me, so next time I'll add crushed red peppers. Delicious recipe though!!!

Excellent lasagna...just the right amount of sauce,cheese and meat....you can "spice it up a bit" with extra red chili flakes and seasonings..but is pretty darn good as is !!! Will make it for the third time next week when the kids come to visit...freezes well uncooked,too!
